Too much fun in the sun, so wear your sunblock

This is the third skin cancer I've had remove and the first on my face by surgery. It's Basil cell carcenoma ( sp?) so not life threating.
I'm told most of this damage to the skin occurs at a very young age so keep your children and yourselfs protected.

It's been just 24 hours since I had the surgery. For a little spot to start out with I was surprised by the size of the incision, 20 stitches.
They do what's called a Mose (SP?) procedure where they check to see they get all the cancer. My Doc got it all the first time.

I was thinking maybe this would be an inch long going in

I've had no pain. Well a couple of the shots stung pretty good. He said a curved line is less noticable than a straight line.
